Sustainable Fashion workshop

Shopping for clothes was once considered an occasional activity, which people only did out of necessity. However, fashion has transformed into a powerful and complex process of global production, distribution and consumption. What’s in season doesn’t last as long as it used to, and the demands have risen for cheaper trends which are constantly changing. This has led the fashion industry to become the second most polluting sector in the world, only following the non-renewable energy sector of gas and oil.

Through this course we aim to expand your knowledge on how our clothes are made and moved. This will help us have discussions about what we can do to solve the problem and help create an industry that is both sustainable and pragmatic.

Sustainable sewing workshop

Did you know that an estimated 92 million tonnes of textile waste are created each year? By 2030, we are predicted to send 134 million tonnes of clothing to landfills annually. These shocking figures are both appalling and avoidable. Some quick, cheap and easy sewing skills can be the answer to stop us having to get rid of some of our favorite pieces in our wardrobes.

Join this workshop to practice the skills which will save and extend the life of your clothes.
